Graduate Gateway

Graduate Gateway is designed for students who are in their final year on campus. Through our events, we celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our students and connect them with resources they will use as alumni.

Boilermaker Bucket List

Memory-making activities every Boilermaker should experience before they graduate and an introduction to the many ways they can stay connected as a new alum.

Class Ring

Show off your Boilermaker pride everywhere you go! Order your class ring to memorialize your Purdue journey––a reminder of the place that will always feel like home. Schedule your ring consultation with Balfour, Purdue University’s official provider of class rings. You can discuss ring options, get sized for a ring, and place your order. Appointments are available below:
